Well now's your chance as Blackburn Rovers have teamed up with Football Aid - www.footballaid.com - to provide fans with the unique opportunity to create their own piece of club history by playing at Ewood Park in 2017, while raising valuable funds for charity at the same time.

Football Aid have been organising charity games for over 15 years now and are regarded as the original and best in delivering the ultimate pitch day experience. The game offers Rovers fans the unrivalled opportunity to experience a matchday in the same way the likes of Jason Steele, Jason Lowe, Craig Conway and co do every other week, and as a player you'll get the chance to pull on your very own exclusive personalised Blackburn Rovers replica shirt in the official changing rooms, experience the thrill of walking down the tunnel to the sound of a cheering crowd and step out onto the hallowed turf proudly sporting your official playing kit and represent Rovers in a never to be forgotten 90 minutes of football!

To add to that, the matches at Ewood Park have also been supported by a host of fantastic Rovers legends in recent years, with the likes of David Dunn, Kevin Gallacher, Damien Johnson, Glenn Keeley, Mark Atkins (and many more) all lending their extra special support by playing alongside or managing the fans on their big day.

Securing your position couldn't be easier, just visit www.footballaid.com and choose the Blackburn Rovers game and you'll then have two Fixed Price options: Option 1: Buy Now - Book your place with a one off payment, or Option 2: Sponsored to Play - Pay a non-refundable £100 deposit for your place, then pay the remaining balance anytime before Fri 27th Jan 2017.

Blackburn fan Oliver Clark took part in 2016 and told Football Aid about his experience after the game:

"I really enjoyed the game and it was great to play alongside Kevin Gallacher again and Mr Blackburn David Dunn! Kevin and the Football Aid staff were great as always and David Dunn was great and really engaged with the other players making for an even better experience. The games and the experience gets better each and every year and great to see several lads from previous games as well. The newly designed home dressing room with the player's pics look awesome! I have set myself an ambitious target to be the oldest player to play in a Football Aid game! So potentially could have another 25 years in me. See you next year!"
